Do you remember Misty of Chincoteague? And Stormy, Misty's Foal? And all the other wonderful books penned by Marguerite Henry?
If you miss those good old fashioned horse and pony books, then you will be happy to to hear that children's author, Lois Szymanski, has just released her nineteenth book, The True Story of Sea Feather.
This amazing tale is a personal story of how Lois and her daughters were able to get their own Chincoteague pony through the kindness of a stranger they met at the annual Pony Penning Day and Auction in 1995. It is a remarkable story of a child's determination and the kindness of a stranger...a story that had to be told.
Here is a link to the Barnes and Noble web site if you would like to read more, or order the book for yourself. Mine is already on the way!
Check back tomorrow for updated photos and news about one of 2010's lucky Chincoteague colts and his owner, Alexis.
Thank you, Nanci! You are too kind. If folks want to learn about how Carollynn Suplee's kindness spiraled into a charity, they can check out The Feather Fund at www.featherfund.org.
